Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

"The Tianjin Martial Arts Alliance? I know about that. Speaking of which, I haven't had a chance to thank Master Zou yet!"

When Yan Fengqi heard that Yan Qing did not refuse directly, he first relaxed his brows, and then picked up the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Zou Qisi.

Yan Fengqi has a strong desire to control his subordinates, otherwise he wouldn't have established so many intelligence agencies.

Although he has only just taken over Tianjin, it is still difficult for him to escape the notice of what is happening within it.

"It is all thanks to the young master's planning and the warlord's support that Tiger Roar Martial Arts School has been able to get to where it is today."

When Zou Qisi saw Yan Fengqi raise his glass, she changed her demeanor, stood up, touched the glass with both hands, and moved forward with an extremely humble posture, without taking credit in her words.

"Sit down, sit down~ No need for such formalities when eating at home. I know Qing'er; with his lazy nature, he's definitely a hands-off manager. The Yan family's martial arts are so strong thanks in no small part to Master Zou!"

After another round of pleasantries, Yan Qing finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Yan Fengqi, who had been chatting with Zou Qisi, turned to look at Yan Qing again:

"Qing'er, I know your martial arts skills have improved greatly recently, but this Tianjin martial arts alliance showdown is of great importance, you go..."

Although Yan Fengqi only said half of what he meant, the implication was extremely clear.

Since he could clearly describe the Martial Arts Alliance duel, it meant that he even knew the details.

The martial arts alliance has chosen a duel between people aged thirty, so it will definitely be a duel between martial artists who have reached the Transformation Realm.

He knew that Yan Qing had extraordinary martial arts talent, but he didn't think Yan Qing could play any role in such a duel.

He knew that Wanxing and Lanyue had recently broken through to the Transformation Realm, but Yan Qing's progress in martial arts cultivation was a closely guarded secret. Apart from his closest confidants, no one else even had any other thoughts about it.

After all, the impression that Yan Qing was weak and sickly and not good at martial arts for the first twenty years of his life was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Yan Fengqi was the only one who knew his son well, but he never imagined that Yan Qing could cultivate at such a fast pace.

Zou Qisi, standing to the side, was even a little stunned, looking at Yan Qing with surprise in her eyes.

She had only met Yan Qing a few times, but she believed she knew him well.

Steward Cao had told her that Yan Qing was a martial arts genius, but the Baguazhang technique was something she had contacted through the Gong family. How long had it been? Two months. According to her calculations, he should have only just learned the Baguazhang technique.

Yan Qing had said he would go in person, and she hadn't thought much about it yet, assuming that Yan Qing was going to observe the martial arts alliance's duel.

Judging from Yan Fengqi's words, it seems that Yan Qing, this young master, wants to get involved personally?

"I am now only one step away from the Transformation Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to break through in about ten days."

Yan Qing first talked about his progress in martial arts cultivation, and then began to talk about his combat strength:

"Moreover, although I am not yet at the Transformation Realm, the newly transformed Transformation Realm experts, Wanxing and Lanyue, are no match for me."

"really?"

Yan Fengqi wasn't that surprised by Yan Qing's progress in cultivation. He only doubted whether Yan Qing's claim about combat strength was true. So, as he spoke, he looked at Lan Yue, who was pouring wine for Yan Qing.

"Even if my sister and I joined forces, we could only barely hold them off!"

Lan Yue stood to the side, holding a wine pot, a faint smile on her face.

"Hahahaha~~ Great, it seems our Yan family is about to produce a martial arts grandmaster."

Upon hearing what Lan Yue said, Yan Fengqi immediately burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Zou Qisi, standing to the side, had her lips slightly parted, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Yan Qing.

To fight two opponents simultaneously, especially those of vastly different cultivation levels, is a major event that would shock the martial arts world.

Fighting two opponents is not a simple matter of one plus one. As long as one has a basic understanding of combined attack techniques, the two of them can often unleash combat power far exceeding their level.

In addition, she knew very well how long Yan Qing had been practicing Baguazhang, and that he could display such amazing strength in such a short time.

Only now has she truly begun to understand the extent of her mentor's description of her as a "genius beyond compare."

It's no wonder that even his mentor, who never cared about his reputation, was willing to go through the trouble of seeking Yan Qing's true teachings.

The fact that Yan Qing could fight two opponents of a higher level was enough to prove his solid foundation, and his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.

If Yan Qing can break through to the Gang Jin level, it's hard to imagine how incredible his combat power will be in the future.

After a brief period of joy and shock, both Yan Fengqi and Zou Qisi calmed down considerably.

Yan Fengqi only mentioned the marriage alliance with the Liang family briefly, and then stopped talking. Instead, he started chatting with Zou Qisi.

Zou Qisi, on the other hand, was almost entirely passive in the conversation, but her emotional intelligence and eloquence were impeccable.

The entire banquet went very smoothly.

After the banquet ended, Yan Fengqi walked out of Yan Qing's courtyard with a big smile on his face, while Yan Qing and Zou Qisi escorted him to the gate of the courtyard.

"Let's go—to the Governor's Mansion!"

After leaving the courtyard, Yan Fengqi walked out with the guards standing at the door. He was so busy that he sometimes had to deal with official business until midnight.

But when Yan Qing asked him to attend the banquet, he canceled his other activities and came in person.

He even drank quite a bit of alcohol at noon.

Yan Qing's recent performance has given him many surprises, making him feel that there is someone to carry on the family legacy.

Improving martial prowess is only a small part of the overall picture. Although Yan Fengqi is skilled in using martial artists, he does not pursue martial prowess himself.

Therefore, Yan Qing's display of martial arts talent did not actually make him too happy.

Because martial arts training often requires a great deal of energy, and handling political affairs and military matters also consumes a great deal of energy.

Human strength has its limits, but Yan Qing managed to do both without neglecting either. While his martial arts training progressed extremely rapidly, he also demonstrated astonishing talent.

He was extremely satisfied with everything, from turning the tide for the Yan family to taking control of two provinces, to Yan Qing's control over his subordinates.

I just met Zou Qisi. This woman is very good at both speaking and doing things. Moreover, Wanxing and Lanyue are not only skilled in martial arts, but also very good at managing intelligence.

Although Yan Fengqi had not looked into the details, he knew that Yan Qing's intelligence network was now very extensive.

Yan Fengqi could tell the level of his son Yan Qingyu's subordinates from their attitude and competence.

"Dad~~"

Just as Yan Fengqi walked to the car and was about to get in, a voice rang out in the distance.

Yan Fengqi stopped and turned around, only to see his second son, Yan Xuan, jogging over.

"Hmm, you look like you've lost a lot of weight recently."

Yan Fengqi's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Yan Xuan, who was jogging over, and spoke calmly.

"Father, I have good news for you. I have been practicing diligently for some time and have finally broken through to the Dark Force realm."

Looking at the smile on his father's face and hearing his caring words, Yan Xuan couldn't help but grin.
